How Badly We Lost In Iran

Combined Task Force 150 see:http://www.cusnc.navy.mil/command/ctf150.html is where the Central Command Navy (US Fifth Fleet) is fighting the Global War on Terror, and where Iran has vanquished HMS Cornwall and the western alliance again.

What is CTF 150's mission?

What are Maritime Security Operations?

"Maritime Security Operations (MSO) help set the conditions for security and stability in the maritime environment as well as complement the counter-terrorism and security efforts of regional nations.
MSO deny international terrorists use of the maritime environment as a venue for attack or to transport personnel, weapons or other material.
Coalition maritime forces conduct MSO in international waters in the Arabian Gulf, Arabian Sea, Gulf of Oman, Gulf of Aden, Indian Ocean and Red Sea.
MSO includes a full range of activities from assisting mariners in distress to Visit, Board, Search and Seizure operations to engaging regional and coalition navies.
Through MSO, nations pursue a common goal against a common enemy – an enemy of peace, an enemy of stability and enemy of prosperity."

The purpose of small boat boarding teams has been to interdict smuggling of weapons and terrorists bound for Iraq from wherever else on the other side of the Shat al Arab they were before. It has also been to reassure people on the water that they have the option to refuse to cooperate with the other side when they were coerced or paid to transport unnice things across the sea.

Having seen the brave warriors of JTF 150 trade their white ensign for a bag of swag and a holiday in Iran when faced with RPG's and grim faces, will the boaters of the Gulf risk their fortunes and their lives to support the Iraqi democracy? or will they see that JTF 150 will not protect her own sailors and conclude, rightly? that she will not protect them either.
